I originally founded MNT as my outlet for software development. Since around 2014, when I switched away from the Mac to Debian GNU/Linux (Opens in a new window) as my full-time operating system, I became more and more convinced of the importance of free and open source computers — because you, the user, should be in control of your systems and data.

I started to work on open projects like the experimental Interim OS (Opens in a new window) and VA2000 (Opens in a new window), an open FPGA-based, HD graphics card for vintage Amiga computers, which introduced me to more advanced electronics design. In 2017, I decided to focus most of my time and attention on MNT Reform (Opens in a new window), a portable computer system that is completely transparent, and meant to be customized or repaired by its user through 3D printing and off-the-shelf parts. 

I wish to spend all my working hours on the design, maintenance and documentation on independent free and open source systems and enable anyone to understand them. If you would like to support me in this mission, you can help me stay independent with a subscription here on Steady. And if you'd like to own a Reform computer, you are invited to participate in the crowd funding campaign on Crowd Supply (Opens in a new window).
